1CC #66: Metal Slug 3
71 credit clear of Metal Slug 3 (Arcade) with Eri (and Tarma for the second half of Final Mission) played on September 26th 2024. using Fightcade/FBNeo. Default difficulty 4/8 (dipswitches shown at the end)
No save states, no cheats, no turbofire
1CC challenge difficulty: 9.5/10
Sol Dae Rokker (Mission 4 Boss) makes 1CCs of this game very difficult. I'd give it another shot to get a NoMiss, but due to this absurd boss and it's Russian roulette attack - I'm not going to attempt it any time soon.
Honestly a real shame that I didn't get it with this run - I had a fair chance for a deathless since I survived Sol Dae Rokker to throw it away at the last mini boss.
As a game - this is the only Metal Slug game that I'd rate really high. On top of that personally I'd rank it in top 3 Neo Geo best games overall.
